As for his laboratory, no one had ever been in it except him.

However, Lu Xinglin was not careless. Although the tools inside were difficult to obtain, they were all available in this world. At most, it was a little troublesome and cost a lot of money.

But with his current status, he can do it.

"I've already prepared the grand finale prize." Lu Xinglin said to everyone as he put the mirror on the table.

"What is this?" Ji Tao raised his hand to hold the mirror and asked.

When the mirror is closed, it looks like an ordinary flat wooden box. The most used materials are better, and the carvings are more delicate, but it doesn't look like anything special.

But when he opened it and saw the mirror inside, Ji Tao was stunned.

The mirrors used in this era are all bronze mirrors, no matter how smooth they are polished, they are still not clear.

But the mercury mirror made by Lu Xinglin can clearly see the pores on the face. How can this not amaze Ji Tao, who has always used bronze mirrors.

Seeing Ji Tao's dazed look, the others also came over to see what it was, which shocked Ji Erlang so much.

However, when they saw the mercury mirror, none of them were much better than Ji Tao, and even a few young ladies exclaimed on the spot.

"Second brother, show me quickly." After being shocked, Ji Yu grabbed the mirror and took a picture of his face.

The other little ladies also gathered around, you take a picture, I take a picture, completely forgetting about the business.

"Wow, it's so clear."

"What mirror is this?"

"It looks a bit like Liuli, but Liuli is not so pure."

"Isn't it made of high-quality colored glaze?"

A few other gentlemen also wanted to take a look, but they were too embarrassed to argue with the ladies, so they came to Lu Xinglin after he was cured.

"Aze, where did you get this mirror from?" Ji Tao couldn't hold back and asked.

"This is the glazed mirror that I refined according to the method in the ancient book." Lu Xinglin said directly without hiding anything.

"You made it yourself?"

"Glass mirror?"

"Where did you get the ancient book?"

After hearing Lu Xinglin's words, everyone present had different reactions, but they all grasped the main point.

"I got the ancient book by accident. It's called Tiangong, and it contains a lot of things. I learned the tofu I had someone make and this glazed mirror from here." Lu Xinglin replied.

"You didn't tell your father and elder brother?" Ji Tao pressed the shock in his heart and asked.

"I told you, it's just that the glazed mirror hadn't been made at that time, and my father and elder brother didn't seem to care much about it." Lu Xinglin said.

Naturally, he had passed Tiangong and his family on a clear road early, but no matter Ji Huan, Lu family or even Ji Han thought that Tiangong he said was a recipe like making tofu, and didn't ask much at all.

"Come home with me later, and explain this matter to grandfather and father in detail." Ji Tao took a deep breath and said.

Lu Xinglin naturally had no objection to this, and just nodded.

The others looked at each other, but didn't say anything.

After all, this has already involved some family secrets, so it's not easy for them to ask more.

But although they can't ask, they still want things.

"Ah Ze, do you still have the glazed mirror? How about selling me a piece." Lu Qilang approached and asked.

"And me!" Yao Wulang followed suit.

Several other people also expressed that they wanted a glazed mirror, and the price was not a problem, as they, the children of aristocratic families, were not short of money.

Lu Xinglin has more than one glazed mirror in his hand, but it's not enough at all.

We are all brothers and sisters, and it is not good to give it to anyone. He can only say that the production of the glazed mirror is troublesome, and there is no way to make it in a short time. If everyone wants it, they can only wait for a while.

However, he said that if the craftsmanship is mature, the first batch will be given to them first, and they will never be sold to the outside world.

Glazed glass is a treasure in this world, and the glass mirror is so pure, so it is naturally even more rare, so they are not surprised by Lu Xinglin's words.

Although there was a small episode in the middle, the entire process of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival was settled.

However, they set up a total of seven checkpoints, and each checkpoint requires a certain amount of space. Although Lu Xinglin's hot spring village is not small, the courtyard is mainly for living. Obviously there is not so much space, so we have to find another place. .

Everyone discussed it, and finally decided to set the address of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Xiyuan.

The Xi Garden was built by the Lu family in the past. It was a garden for everyone to play. Later, the head of the Lu family gave it to his daughter as a dowry, and his daughter is Lu Xinglin's current mother, the Lu family.

The Lu family likes the Xiyuan very much, and has been taken care of by others. Every year, it will be open for a period of time for several juniors to enter the garden to play.

Xiyuan is also located outside the city, but one is in the east and the other is in the north with Hot Spring Zhuangzi, and there is still a distance in the middle.

The Creek Garden is named after a stream that runs through the entire yard. Many exotic flowers and plants are planted in the garden. The scenery is the most beautiful in spring and summer, and the garden is closed in winter because the flowers and plants wither.

It might not be easy for others to use Xi Garden to hold activities when the garden is closed, but Lu Xinglin's words are just a matter of one sentence.

After everyone made up their minds, they left Hot Spring Zhuangzi together and agreed to meet at Xiyuan tomorrow.

Lu Xinglin followed Ji Tao and Ji Yu back to Ji's house to report on the glass mirror. As for the glass mirror that was brought out today, it fell into Ji Yu's hands.

The other young ladies are naturally envious, but there is no way to do it, who will let her be the sister of the young man of the Ji family.

That night, Lu Xinglin was interrogated three times by members of the Ji family.

Although the Zhao Dynasty was a feudal society with backwardness and distinct classes, it also had its own advantages.

The status of women here is much higher than Lu Xinglin imagined. In terms of family affairs, the old lady and the head mother Lu are qualified to participate.

So when the Ji family leaders headed by the old man held Tiangong and discussed how to use this wonderful book to strengthen the family, the old lady and the Lu family resolutely stood by Lu Xinglin's side to seek benefits for him.

The book was discovered by Lu Xinglin. As the direct descendant of the Ji family, he is naturally obliged to contribute to the development of the Ji family, but the benefits of reforming are indispensable.

After all, although he is a direct descendant, he is not the eldest son. As the youngest son, he will definitely be separated. If this strange book belongs to the Ji family, it will be equivalent to giving it to Ji Han in the future. What Lu Xinglin can get is really limited.

Fortunately, the old man and Ji Huan, the Patriarch, still loved Lu Xinglin very much, and they also agreed with the old lady and Lu's proposal.

After several discussions, they decided that the book should still belong to Lu Xinglin.

However, those involving weapons, such as new steelmaking methods, siege crossbows, gunpowder and other siege equipment, and powerful weapons must be completely handed over to the Ji family.

As for other things, such as glass mirrors and paper making, which make money and can win a good reputation among celebrities, Lu Xinglin needs to cooperate with the Ji family.

As for the cooperation method, it was proposed by Lu Xinglin.

He is not short of money, and he doesn't want to be too troublesome, so the Ji family is fully responsible for these matters, and he only needs [-]% of the dividends.

Originally, the Lu family thought that [-]% was too little and wanted to give more, but Lu Xinglin refused.

He didn't care about anything except for one prescription. The Ji family contributed money and efforts, so he didn't need to worry about the whole process, [-]% was enough.

It is precisely because of his lack of greed that the old man likes this grandson even more.

So with a big wave of his hand, he left the soap and some rouge and gouache recipes to Lu Xinglin, and let him decide for himself.

These are naturally profitable, but the Ji family has already taken the two big heads of glass and paper besides things like weapons, and they no longer pay attention to these things.

Lu Xinglin was not a stingy person either, or he was too lazy and didn't want to do it himself, so he gave the recipes of rouge and gouache directly to Lu Shi.

Starting from the Lu family, all the female family members headed by the old lady, including the two aunts, sister-in-laws and other cousins, can participate in a share, which can be regarded as earning some money for them.

As for the soap, Lu Xinglin handed it over to his second elder brother Ji Tao, and all brothers in their direct line would participate in the shares and earn pocket money.

After this allocation, everyone in the family took care of it, but he didn't have to make any effort, and was praised by everyone.

Although in the eyes of others, he suffered a big loss, but for Lu Xinglin, he made a profit.

If it comes out like this today, everyone in the family will remember his kindness, and no matter how much he struggles in the future, the Ji family will be his solid backing.

It's not that he has to link family affection with interests, it's just that the big family is very complicated, and it's not good if it's too simple.

After talking about the business, Lu Xinglin brought up the matter of the Lantern Festival.

He originally wanted to make it simpler, but in the end it was a bit too big, and he might need help from his family.

The Ji family received so many benefits from Lu Xinglin today, but it was just a lantern festival, so there is no way they would not support it.

The Lu family directly handed Xiyuan over to Lu Xinglin, and let him go.And Ji Huan, the head of the family, also said that if he needed anything, he would go to the housekeeper directly. Even Ji Han also opened his mouth and took over the task of recruiting gatekeepers for each level.

As the eldest son of the Ji family, the future heir, and already serving in the court, Ji Han's connections are not comparable to others.

Since he opened his mouth, they don't need to worry about the gatekeeper's affairs.

Others need to visit Xiyuan tomorrow to decide, even if they say it now, they can’t tell the result, and it’s getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

But it was very late at this time, and it was dawn within a few hours of Lu Xinglin's sleep. Before he got up, Ji Tao and Ji Yu were already waiting outside.

Lu Xinglin had no choice but to eat something in a hurry and went to Xiyuan with them.

After the Spring Festival, although the sky has shown signs of warming, the heavy snow has not yet melted, and the sky is still very cold.

Although the snow on the side of the stream garden has been cleared, the ice on the stream has not yet melted. In addition, the flowers and plants are withered, and the whole garden looks very deserted.
